Assignment 9 Fan Reaction to the New Look

In this assignment, students view the EXTREME makeover articles. They offer their comments
about the “new look” on the final slide.

It is suggested that students rotate around the room beginning with the workstation to their right.
Students view the presentation and add a short comment on the last slide, then after an allotted
amount of time they move to the next workstation and view the next show. Ideally, students
should be able to view all slide shows.

Afterwards, students return to their seats to read the reviews. Is the new look a success?

Dear Parents,

We have just completed TechnoCelebrity. Students worked for the e-tabloid TechnoStar. They wrote an article about
an EXTREME celebrity makeover. They started by using the Internet to research the famous personality. Afterwards,

was revealed to fans in an interactive slide show about the makeover.
